The Portland Trail Blazers are back home for three games starting with a pair against the underperforming-of-late Clippers. The Blazers recent two-game road trip didn’t produce any wins, despite continuing their trend of playing with energy and heart. Most recently they took the Bulls deep into the fourth quarter, but lost 110-107.
The LA Clippers have reached the “what’s wrong?” stage of their season. They’ve lost four of their last five games which and red flags have duly been raised. Three of those losses were to the Bucks, Timberwolves and Pelicans, quality teams all.
